What treatment is available for hepatitis A?
There is no specific treatment for hepatitis A. People infected with the virus should get bed rest and drink extra fluids. Alcoholic beverages should be avoided for six months. It is also recommended to avoid intimate contact with other people for six months. The infection usually will clear up by itself in a few weeks or months. On average, only one out of 100 people infected with the hepatitis A virus suffers from a sudden and severe infection, which requires immediate medical attention.
